unicode

when create db : utf-8 has to be specified for codepage
different collating sequences are available, depending on need.
mind the length of char fields, as 1 character can be multiple bytes. some cols should be defined longer than the number of needed characters
also mind the substr/length function
or use graphic/var graphic
